All tag results for chicago blackhawks

Saturday should have been one of the best days of Patrick Kane's life.

Every hockey player that wins the championship in the NHL — the Stanley Cup — gets one day to take the trophy wherever they like, be it visiting family, friends, loved ones, or fans.

And for 26-year-old Kane, a hockey superstar who won the trophy this past season with the Chicago Blackhawks, Saturday was to be his day to take the trophy to his hometown of Buffalo, New York and parade around, basking in the glory.

Only there will now be no glory, and Kane's cup celebration was limited to family members inside his home, because Kane has been accused of rape — and the details of the alleged event, which reportedly took place last weekend, are incredibly disturbing.

According to the Buffalo News, Kane allegedly met a woman in a bar and took her home — but what supposedly followed was NOT consensual:

Brent Sopel of the Chicago Blackhawks will be marching with his wife and children in Chicago's Gay Pride Parade in honor of his friend, the late Brendan Burke!

Sopel says:

"When Brendan came out, Brian stood by him, and his whole family stood by him, like every family should. We teach our kids about accepting everybody. Tolerate everybody, to understand where everyone is coming from."

Sopel will also be marching with the Stanley Cup as a representation of the team's support of gay rights!
